Questions & Answers about Время прибытия полностью совпадает с нашим планом.
Why is прибытия in the genitive case here?
It translates to "of arrival". The base word is the neuter noun прибытие (arrival). Because it modifies время (time) to mean "time OF arrival", it takes the genitive case, changing the -е to -я.
Why do we use с and the instrumental case after совпадает?
The verb совпадать (to coincide or match) pairs with the preposition с (with) and the instrumental case to show what something matches. That is why the nominative наш план (our plan) becomes the instrumental нашим планом.
Полностью means "completely", but why doesn't it end in a standard adverb -о?
While you might expect an -о ending, полностью actually comes from the instrumental case of the noun полность (completeness). It has become a fixed adverb meaning "completely" or "entirely".
The current lesson is about exact clock times like десять минут первого. How would I fit that into this sentence?
You can use this sentence's subject to state an exact time by adding a dash. For example: Время прибытия — десять минут первого (The time of arrival is ten past twelve). In our original sentence, время just means the general concept of "time".
